Resource Development for the Reiki Community
’You cannot restore ecology without restoring human beings’
What is the Offer to the members of our Reiki community?
In less than two generations, Reiki has grown into a global spiritual movement. As a practice, Reiki helps bring alignment with the natural order for those practicing. More and more Reiki students are realizing that this alignment also has larger significance. It is what our communities need to nurture harmony among people. It is what our nations need to promote peace and justice in the world. And it is what humanity needs to create a healthy relationship with our planet. The Reiki movement is in a very good position to help with all of these needs if it can find an effective way to think and work together on them.
Resource Development for the Reiki Community is an ongoing series of workshops for Reiki students who wish to deepen their ability to serve their communities. In Resource Development participants work on growing themselves so that they can help others realize more of their potential. This Resource Development is a discipline designed to bring greater alignment between the wisdom of the body and caring of the heart and the power of the human mind. Using frameworks that are drawn from living systems, each person can better understand how nature works. This work is for people who are committed to serving the evolution of the Reiki community and the transformational contribution it can make in the world.

"When I was young I had the opportunity to spend a great deal of time in Nature. I treasured these times, watching the order and dedication of ants and other tiny things; noticing the keen awareness and agility of rabbits; admiring the symmetry of oak trees; and listening to the drum of Elk footsteps in the forest. I learned through my family’s conservation efforts how human methods were used to help people respect and care for nature. These experiences shaped values that continue to apply to my life’s work in community building.
When I learned Reiki, a new and deeper level of relationship with myself, Spirit and community became possible. My travels with Reiki have opened and encouraged me, offered me the opportunity to contribute, and to apply myself in new and expanding ways in my work and personal life.
I am moved by the partnership between nature and man expressed through the work of Ben Haggard. I feel strongly that each of us who study these methods can foster self-knowledge and respect, engage in a deeper understanding of universal life energy, and enlist vital tools to enact respectful change on the planet.
Perhaps this work will become known as ‘quantum conversations with nature’. Certainly, it is universally applicable to any area of interest or endeavor. " Ellen Montague
Ben Haggard is a consultant, artist, teacher, and author living in Santa Fe, NM. For 35 years he has dedicated himself to helping people use land and community design to create more harmonious relationships among humans and ecosystems.
He co-founded the Regenesis Group 20 years ago, for the purpose of engaging in a deep inquiry about how people think, and how this affects the world they are able to create. Through the use of living systems framework, the members of Regenesis have worked on major community development projects throughout North and South America, and around the world. Ben is currently focusing much of his time on training students in North America and Mexico in the application of the work pioneered by Regenesis to community planning.
Through his lifelong friendship with Phyllis Furumoto, Ben began working with the Reiki Foundation International and its stakeholder community about five years ago. The purpose was to help this community become more effective at working together in order to take on the ambitious projects it was beginning to envision for itself. Through this work, he hopes that Reiki as a global community can make significant contributions to the large scale social and ecological changes that are needed at this time.
Ben has been asked by some of the continuous participants of the RFI programs if he would open his schedule for a Resource Development Program. His response, in answer to the demand, was to open two programs. One, starting at the end of October, 2015, in the Netherlands and one in Oregon USA beginning in April 2016. Both programs span a 10 -12 month period and have the possibility of extending for more years.
These programs are open to Reiki students of all forms of practice and levels of initiation. Each participant must be willing to invest themselved as Resources in their local communiities or with a global network to further the work of Reiki as a resource for healing on an individual level as well as a planetary contribution.
